Plan Consultant I

Compliance & Technical · Retirement Plan Administration · Entry to Mid-Level

Is this you?

The compliance side of retirement plan administration is where precision meets purpose — and if that resonates with you, keep reading. You’re analytically minded, detail-driven, and genuinely satisfied when a complex problem resolves cleanly. You are a team player and take real pride in doing work that other people can rely on. You like knowing the rules, applying them correctly, and getting it right. You may be early in your career, or coming from a related field and ready to build serious expertise in retirement plan compliance. Either way, we’ll meet you where you are and invest in getting you where you want to go.

What you’ll do here

As a Plan Consultant I, you’ll be a key compliance and technical resource — the person who ensures that retirement plans are administered accurately and in full compliance with IRS, DOL, and ERISA regulations. Your work is behind the scenes in the best possible way: when you do it well, clients and advisors can focus on what they do best.

• Calculate employer contributions — match, pro-rata, integrated, and new comparability

• Perform self-employed income calculations

• Identify and resolve late deposits and missed deferral obligations

• Calculate missed deferral corrections and support corrective filings

Data management & reconciliation

Support
